I'm increasingly persuaded by the evidence in Buckminster Fuller's body of work and in the current physics of Bitcoin research that Bitcoin was introduced not merely to fix money, but to reposition humanity closer to the edge of criticality.

Why?

Because systems in this state of criticality can efficiently process information, balance flexibility, and are maximally adaptive. Subcritical systems, like our current civilization, can appear stable but carry long-term risk because they are too rigid to adapt to an evolving environment.

Future risks are unknown, and a civilization incapable of adapting to change risks collapse.
